What sportsbook has the best reward program and will comp me the best. I am not a HUGE player, probably $50-100 per game and $25-50 per race. I will be traveling there more frequently now and it would nice to get some comps eventually, thanks for your help!

Best sports / horse comps are at the Orleans.

I was gonna say the same thing. They are into Racing, being the venue for the Horse Player World Series.
Their rooms are clean, quiet and comfortable. The staff is friendly. It's big enough to hold just about any game you want and small enough not to feel like you're in Yankee Stadium and its easy to get around in and find the places you want to be. Decent restaurants and timely shuttles to the Strip, if thats your thing.

I was out there to visit a client and stayed at the Venetian. I spent most of my time at the race book and wasn't playing very serious at all. I was playing around about 75% of the time maybe playing $50 to $100 a race. The other 25% of the time I was playing more serious.

Anyway, they started coming around asking if they could do anything for me. They heard me talking to a friend about going to dinner and they came right over to comp me for dinner. They comped me for lunch pretty much everyday and always offered dinner, snacks, shows, etc.

My table play got me a few comps as well.

Overall, I was kind of surprised.

Good luck.

Thanks for the heads up

Check it out. I am not a Vegas guy or anything so I don't know the real landscape, ins and outs, etc. I had to stay at the Venetian and like I said I was very surprised. There were mostly regulars there for the races and the sports guys didn't come out to stay until night. There was a couple of guys who were there for a couple of day stay and they were playing real serious. I stayed for about 9 days or so and was just there more than most I guess.

I will say that the entire facility was great -- all around.

Have a great time.
